The process of Buddhist-Christian Dialogue

Ingram's thesis is that Buddhist-Christian dialogue in all three of its formsconceptual, social engagement, and interior are interdependent processes, the nature of which is helpfully characterized through the categories of Whiteheadian process thought. Process thought asserts that process is funadamental to not only human experience, but to the structure of reality. Some of the categories of Whiteheads process metaphysics have been appropriated throughout the specific chapters in this book as a means of analyzing contemporary Buddhist-Christian dialogue and this dialogues encounter with the natural sciences. Accordingly, the Whiteheadian process of thought provides the foundations of understanding the process of Buddhist-Christian dialogue support within each chapter of this book.
